I used to think commenting like this served a positive purpose! At 77 and increasigly irascible, I note all political sites offer this venting into thin air democratic expression technique. It could increase member donations and I’m sure every cent is more than welcome. Other than that its an endless avalanche of preaching to the choir verbosity!!!!

The American does not become upset until he loses his job to outsourcing, his home to a sub-prime mortgage scheme or his daughter to a sex trafficking ring. Goldman Sachs works 24/7 to fleece the American of his net worth. It is an uneven fight. Goldman buys immunity from prosecution by devoting a tiny fraction of its ill-gotten gain to campaign contributions.
Since Wall Street continues to kill the country, the proper name for their activities is subversion. In time of war this escalates to treason invoking the death penalty.
It’s the least we can do.

Everything hearing the Democrats have held for the last decade has been nothing but show-boating.

You can believe its real when you see these guys from GS wearing orange-jump suits.

You can believe its real when you see their mansions and their yachts being seized. When you see the FBI putting as much effort into tracing and seizing their offshore accounts as they do into tracking ‘terrorist’ money.

You can believe its real when the government of the people of the United States of America goes after this money to refund its citizens what was stolen from them.

When you see them sitting there in their thousand dollar suits and then getting back on their private jets to fly back home to their mansions, then the only thing you need to know is that they paid Obama and the Democrats a lot of money to stay out of jail.

My guess is that the current threats are just a combination of political theater and a money-contribution shakedown to remind these guys who they have to pay off to stay out of jail.

If you want real action, stop voting for the candidates with millions of wall street dollars in their account (aka ‘Democrats’ and ‘Republicans’)

I hate to be cynical, but I have little faith that the system will be cleaned up.  Lobbyists have a way of inserting loopholes, that no one notices, until after the fact.  Do you think anything really meaningful will come of this?  By the way, I love your work.

Of course they can be prosecuted, if there’s the political will - frankly, it appears
that it’s all smoke and mirrors - an exercise to placate working-class rage -
Obama’s boys gotta do this theatre - but that’s all it is - after all, Wall St. bought
and paid for him - he’s not going to bite the claw that feeds him - moreover, this
is one more distraction from the endless Global War Of Terror - and who profits
from that? Right! Wall St., City of London - The Global Finance Oligarchy.
Nothing’s changed.
